Top 20 Spotlights

Now that Agent Spotlight has been going for almost a year (well, in March), I thought it would be interesting to see which agents have had the most visitors. Given that some profiles have been up a lot longer than others, it's not a fair representation, exactly, but I think it's still interesting. Here's the top 20 from March 2009 to Jan 2010 according to my stats:

What's interesting is even the 'big names' don't necessarily have a big web presence. It shows that your spotlights are an invaluable research tool for those who can't find a lot of the info elsewhere. Thanks again!

Scanning the list, I see several that I personally referred to several times when querying. You're right, though--these are the ones without a web presence and yours was (in the case of a few) the ONLY specific, helpful source for the agent. And for some of the big names, yours was the most personal--making them seem like real people.

Interesting. I wonder how much I skewed your results by the research I was doing for a friend recently. She's looking for someone to represent all her work, picture book through middle grade, so while I clicked on each agent, I revisited the ones who represented all children's works. Some of them several times. :)
